My background is in computer engineering. At ESMA, I studied development, databases, networks and systems. I’m now in my final year of cybersecurity engineering at EMSI Marrakech.

Moving towards security hasn’t replaced development for me. It has changed the questions I ask: what crosses a network boundary, what a log can tell us, and how an application behaves when something goes wrong.

I like technical work I can examine and explain. The UCA lab gave me room to configure, test, correct and document an infrastructure. Fakhama lets me work on the other side: interfaces, application state and the details of an API.

Beyond the technical work

Not everything I enjoy fits in a repository. Music, videography, video editing and writing are part of the picture, too.
